THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Eug. B. Baehr & Bro.
When the head of a firm has to leave his
desk and supervisory work in order to as-
sist in packing and marking boxes of goods
for immediate shipment, it may usually be
taken for granted that orders are plentiful.
When The Review visited the warerooms
of Eugene B. Baehr & Bro. on Wednesday,
Mr. Baehr was "up to his elbows" in the
packing room among boxes, mandolins,
guitars and a host of other material neces-
sary to facilitate business. Business is re-
ported to be very active. Great interest is
being shown in the new Baehr patent man-
dolin, shown on another page. This novelty
has been a success from the start. The
new Baehr catalogue will be ready in a
few days. Mr. Baehr promises a number
of attractive features.
The many concerns now embarking
in the manufacture of strings for
musical instruments will be interested in
the advertisement of Hammacher, Schlem-
mer & Co. in this issue, in which they
offer wires well and favorably known to
the musical string trade.
